Avon Valley Path

The Avon Valley long distance path between Salisbury and Christchurch runs through the village. In total it is 34 miles long and parts of it can become waterlogged during the winter and early spring. The section from Salisbury to Downton is 8 miles long and takes between 3 and 4 hours to walk. The section from Downton to Fordinbridge is 7 miles long and also takes between 3 to 4 hours. Every Friday the tap bar serves a selection of beers straight from the cask. No booking is needed and there's a selection of tables inside and out, in the new bar and outside the brewery where you can also buy food.
